Between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Between the Iowa and Cedar. Between the Des Moines and Skunk. I've lived or worked by them all. (Except the Missouri - that one doesn't count.) And fought floods against two of them more than once.

Friday (out of) steam 7/23/10
26 hours at work Thursday/Friday. Out of steam today so enjoy the Number 9 from Midwest Central Railroad in Mt Pleasant, IA
I bet Sam is familiar with the narrow gauge railroad.
I dig the Maine 2 and a half footers. Nice to see more narrow gauge stuff!
ReplyDeleteStan Matthews brought the Number 9 from California to Mt. Pleasant in 1966, and I wrangled a ride in the cab that year. What a beautiful machine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the background, Sam.
ReplyDeleteIf you love steam, by rail or on the farm, Midwest Old Threshers is the place to be come Labor Day.
